Ruff is not surprised by Briere’s hit

‘"He snaps. He’ll do something that you wouldn’t expect he’d do. But that’s part of what makes him an effective player, too. You don’t quite know what you’re going to get from Danny when you go up against him. You could get a stick across the chops. You can get a two-hander across the legs, and that’s just part of his makeup. I think that’s what buys him a little bit of time sometimes."’
